Visual C++ November CTP, now with more C++11

As promised, Microsoft is releasing out-of-band updates for Visual C++. A preview of the first such update has now been released as the November 2012 Compiler CTP. This is a Customer Technology Preview and does not come with a ‘Go Live’ license, but it allows you to start experimenting and testing new features, and to provide feedback.

This November 2012 CTP contains a lot of new C++11 features:

Variadic templates

Uniform initialization and initializer_lists

Delegating constructors

Raw string literals

Explicit conversion operators

Default template arguments for function templates

More details, including installation instructions and how to give feedback can be found here.
